Worth Knowing.

Mir. W. H. Morgan, merchant, Lake City, Fla, was taken with a severe cold, attended with distressing cough, and running into consumption in it's first stages. He tried many so. called popular cough remedies and steadily grew worse Was reduced ill flesh, had difficulty in breathing and was unable to sleep. Finally tried Dr Kings New Discovery for Consump. ton and found immediate relief. and after using about half dozen bottles found himself well, and has had no re- turn of the disease. No other remedy can show so grand record of cures as Dr. Kings New Discovery for Con. sumption. Guaranteed to do just what is claimed for it. Trial bottle free at c. F. IIinton's drug store.

"GoD knows I'm innocentl" exclaim- ed Sam Branch, a negro, who was con victed and sentenced to the penitentiary for five years, at Chattanooga, and then deliberately cut his throat from ear to ear, dying in half an hour. Whether innocent or not, trip to Nashville, or ''the mines" as the poor convicts call it, is not accompanied by loss of social position by their kind, but the lease system, with the bastinado, and the cruelties of that loathsome legalized purgatory, made this criminal prefer death to five years of it's horrors.

A Tennessee farmer whose land was under mortgage and about to be taken away from him fell on his knees in the field in prayer. When he got up he seized the blow with a new grip, gave the old mule vigorous lick, and be fore he had gone twenty feet he turned up jug with over $500 in gold and silver in it.

Something Strange.

Our Haynes correspondent says: "Mr Will Hughes has an eleven pound clerk, for which there is more rejoicing than over DORA ANNETTE" Perhaps this may be, but the question is will the re- joicing last like ours? DORA ANNETTE you know. never has collie, and conse- quently our rejoicing has been unceas- inc

A POSSIBLE cause of earthquakes in Europe has been suggested to the French Academy of Sciences by NJ. A. Blavier, who associates the great dis' turbances of l755, 1884 and 1887 with abnormal accumulations of ice about the North Pole. He supposes such ac- cumulations to have caused a deaec- tion of the Gulf Stream away from Europe, producing great climatic changes and slight disturbance of equilibrium in the sea bottom. followed by possible local fracture along the line of least resistance. Evidence of the thrush of cold oceanic waters is furnished by the disappearance of sar- dimes from the west coast of Europe during the years inquestion.

The fearful railroad accident at Kout's, Ind, yesterday gives force to the idea that the single track railroad will be abandoned sometime in the near future. The business of the country demands fast freights, and it is not possible to run safely fast freights and fast passenger trains on the same track. Bridges may break, despite the skill of engineers and the care of trackmen, but thers is not much excuse for a telescope. Appeal.

Washington National Republican: Sir Edward Sullivan, an intelligent Englishman, who travelled extensively in this country, said of Americans:
 They understand that manufacturing and agricultural industries are insepar- ably bound together; that prospecting manufactures means prospering ag- riculture, and vice versa; that each con sumes what the other produces; that each is the best customer of the other. With the exception of cotton and tobacco, over 92 per cent, of the pro- ducts of the soil find their market at home. In ten years nearly $500 900 900 worth of cotton, taken at farm values, have been manufactured in the United States, giving profitable work to hun dreds of thousands, and enabling them to. purchase at good prices the products of the farm, dairy, and mills, which gave employment, to other thousands. In those ten years the cotton produc- tion of the United States was valued at g., ,4S7 ,507 ,420. Only one-ffth of this was manufactured at home, and the average farm value was ll2 cents per pound. The process of manufacture increased the value of the cotton man ufactufed here an average of ten cents per pound. adding $500, ,000, 900 to the wealth of the country. ..
 If, as could be the case, all this cotton was manufactured at homo, not only would the wealth of the country be proportionately increased. but all the nations of the earth would be dependent on the United States for clothing. An undisturbed protective system would in few years result in the home manu- ufacture of all the cotton grown. And yet tho-s are free traders.

A SLY Advance Agent.

The Webster Brady troupe has
just finished very successful en-
gagement in Virginia City as they
did also here. The Combination is
very good one and one always
certain of a welcome whenever they
return. The APPEAL suggests how
ever that the managers of the com
bination secure the services of a
press agent who is not quite so sly
as Mr.. Elmer.
The fresh young gentleman wrote
glowing descriptions of the perform
ances, which he handed to the
printers to set up, assuring them
that he had arranged with the pro-
prietor of the APPEAL to run the
theatrical column ETC., etc. The
proprietor was too busy with the
District Fair to pay much attention
and so the matter went. No doubt
Mr.. Elmer's management of the
theatrical column, was much better
than ours would have been, but the
idea of perfect stranger coming
into an office without any previous
invitation and running another
mans business, would indicate
that the freight on the agents cheek
must seriously hamper the finances
of the company.
